Robert (Mr. Yesselman to me) was my 10th Grade English teacher at Bethpage HS. He was an inspiration - I still remember many of his lessons, including doing an analysis of the lyrics for the Beatles "Eleanor Rigby", which I thought was so cool... May he rest in Peace..

Tom & I were very sad to hear of Bob's death . The best man at our wedding , he was an old, close friend from our days of teaching at Bethpage High School . For many years we all traveled, dined and enjoyed theater together. He had the distinction of being our only guest who happily and enthusiastically played Packman with our children !
We send our condolences to Bob's brother and his family and to Bob's friends. May he rest in peace.
